Thank you both for your speedy speedy replies.
martinh> what is a PPD ?
 A postscript printer description file(PPD).
My appologies I just grabbed the term
from the internet and it was used in conjunction
with my very loing print driver name.

mason> Thank you for the advise.
sudo apt-get install printer-driver-all
solved my problem.

I was able to download it and install it on a usb. I did have trouble with  
installing a downloaded ppd driver. The system freezes up. I stopped after  
three failed attempts.

Thank you both for answering me. I tried the options which you suggested.  
There are issues with scrot and with finding additional library dependencies.  
I am sure that I do not have the required skills to reliably perform these  
operations. I will stay with Trisquel 7.0 for the time being.

Re: [Trisquel-users] Uruk 2.0 Last Touches

Hello,
I installed uruk_2.0-xfce-i686.iso on an Asus Eee PC with 989 M of ram.
The system boots and runs well for the most part.
I have had one occurance where letting it load to the default system
without hitting return caused the system to freeze on the splash screen
after the grub menu was no longer displayed.

I was able to connect to wifi  LAN, the internet, and to install a wireless
 printer.
I downloaded Dr. Racket and have it running in my Home directory.
Other packages do not seem to be available. I am not skilled enough to create
 them. Additionally, I do not know how to connect to other repositories such
as the Trisquel 8 repositories to see if some of the missing packages might
be available. Two packages I have searched for are not visible.
 Build-essential and scrot(which are  available in Trisquel 7).
My reason for wanting these is to compile C code using stdio.h and to take  
screen shots in

order to make system responses clearer to other folks like you all when I
ask a question.
Does anyone know how I might access these so I might continue testing this
lovely distribution?
I have tried several times to load Trisquel 8.0 for i686 but cannot get it
to run in QEMU or as a bootable usb system. Therefore I have not tried it nor  
seen if the packages i am not finding are available in the repositories for  
Trisquel 8.


I do like the Uruk distribution and find its memory usage is lower
than Trisquel 7 mini.
Thank you for your hard work and time. Please continue to develop both  
systems.
